Morgan Ognibene, Missionary in Ukraine

About Morgan:

My name is Morgan and I am a missionary! I am 20 years old from Courtland, Virginia and I have lived here for about 16 years! I was saved at the age of five, but being a missionary was never something I saw myself doing. When I saw other missionaries, I just marveled at their faith. In the Summer of 2015 I was planning on attending college in the fall, continuing teaching dance, and leading youth at my church. Yet, God had/has a different plan! God spoke to my heart saying that my plans were not His plans. He told me to release my future aspirations, goals, and dreams and to exchange them for His!

After countless prayers and wise counsel, I felt a strong urge to attend a Discipleship Training School with a Dance focus in Lakeside, Montana. I grew in the talents and gifts in dance God has given me for use on the mission field. After the training school, we applied what we had learned on an extensive cross-cultural excursion to spread the Gospel in the country of Ukraine. That trip opened my eyes to the needs of this world. I learned to trust God for everything. Since that trip, I have served in Taiwan and now feel God’s call to return to Ukraine.
